Toshiba’s new quad-core AT300 tablet has gone official. The 10.1-incher is powered by a Tegra 3 processor and it runs Ice Cream Sandwich.

Toshiba went out of its way to make the AT300 a bit more appealing to picky consumers after premium products, thus the tablet features an aluminium shell and Gorilla Glass. At 8.9mm it is also relatively thin and the design is pretty sleek.

Nothing is missing from the spec sheet, either. The AT300 features 16GB or 32GB of storage, 1GB of DDR3 memory and an eMMC card slot capable of handling up to 64GB. A full-sized SDHC card slot is also on board, along with micro-USB, micro-HDMI and stereo speakers rated at 1W.

The only unimpressive spec is the screen resolution. Toshiba went for a 1280x800 screen, while other Android players are already planning 1920x1200 panels for their high-end devices. There is no word on price, either.

According to the post over at Engadget.com, we now finally have a shipping date set for Acer's 7inch Iconia Tab A100. The device should appear on retail/e-tail shelves as of August with a suggested price set at US $300.

As is was originally slated for mid-May launch and got held back due to Honeycomb update and issues with it, it appears that the Acer's Iconia Tab A100 will finally show its Tegra 2 7-inch face next month. In case you missed it, the Iconia Tab A100 features Tegra 2 dual-core chip, has a 7-inch 1024x600 touchscreen, 512MB of memory and 8GB of flash storage. It has both the front and rear camera, microSD slot, WiFi, Bluetooth and battery life rated at up to 5 hours.

The date and the price is for the USA of course, and Europe should see Acer's Iconia Tab A100 in September according to recent rumours. At least we now know that they managed to get that Honeycomb up and running on it.

We had a chance today to play with Acer's tablet codenamed Picaso, and we can tell you that the device works quite well.

It is a 10.1 inch tablet, with 16GB of storage, and was running Android 2.2 (Froyo). We were told it will be running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) by the time ships.

Android 3.0 will rely on virtual interface buttons more than physical hardware keys, and the home button will be hidden in most of these devices.

The Acer that we got our hands on was powered by a 1.0GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor in its T20 variation. Although the device ran quite well with 512MB of RAM, we would definitely like to see 1GB.

The device has mini HDMI, a USB interface for peripherals, mini usb and two cameras. The rear facing camera has 5 megapixel resolution while the front facing one has 1.3 megapixel.

We were able to play Dungeon Defenders on it, and were impressed with the performance. This game will ship on PC, Playstation 3 and Tegra based devices (phones and tablets). The graphics looks great as the title is based on the Unreal 3 gaming engine.

After being written off as “dead in the water” by the tame Apple press and Steve Jobs, it appears that the Samsung has flogged more than a million of its Galaxy Tabs in two months.

It was the first serious competition to the Apple iFad and came out at roughly the same price and with a smaller 7-inch touchscreen and runs a modified version of Google’s Android operating system.

The iPad was considered a record breaker because it flogged a million in 28 days. Steve Jobs derided 7-inch tablets during an earnings call saying that the current crop of 7-inch tablets are going to be DOA — dead on arrival.

Looks like he got that wrong, and the mistaken belief that people did not want seven inch tablets. We wonder what he will say when the new batch of much cheaper tablets hit the shops.

Translators for Samsung Galaxy Tab will probably have to clear out their desk and collect their P45s after a cock-up on the interface for the Romanian version. In Romanian the word for “start” is “Pornire” so the translators seem to have thought it was OK to shorten that to “Porn”.

So users in Romania will start their tabs by hitting the porn button. We know that the Internet is for porn but it is a little embarrassing that Samsung seems to think that it should stick a porn button on its tablet.

This information, which seems to be an unintentional mistake of the UI translators, was found by the folks of Mobilissimo.ro as they checked out the tablet during a promotional tour of the device in the Eastern European country.

Corning’s Gorilla Glass is going to be a major feature of the seven-inch display of the Android powered Samsung Galaxy Tab. Gorilla glass is an environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass and offering up to four times the strength in breakage resistance.

It provides a protective cover sheet for Galaxy Tab without getting in the way. The Gorilla glass provides damage resistance, improves the lifespan of portable display devices and offers a more scratch-resistant, durable and pristine viewing quality.

The glass is made by Corning Korea Company and is 'new technology' as far as the touch screen goes. However it was first developed during the Cold War. But the bendy tough glass failed to take off until it started to be tested in some of the more expensive smart phones.
